[N 4 LIFE]

I checked into RCM a couple days ago....nothing new for months.

The preset browser for the JV/XV desperately needs some love as it's hopelessly outdated; it doesn't scale properly, no way to have favorites, the whole window is modal so it takes the focus from everything else - including hijacking the spacebar and making it impossible to audition the sound in the DAW without having to close everything. It's basically just like the old awful Zenology Pro browser.

Same about the D-50 ...and pretty much all the non-v2 legendary plugins Besides the actual bugs and the RCM annoyances, that's my other biggest gripe with the Roland Cloud experience.

I still don't get why they couldn't just set the Sound Canvas free, like they did with the Concerto/Anthology stuff. I think they gave everyone a couple months of time to download before they removed Concerto/Anthology from the site (after making it free), and they could have done the same with SC.

[Aloysius]

Because I purchased it.

[IvyBirds]

Because I purchased it.

I did also, they still could have made sound canvas free

They could have just given use all a lifetime key for something else

[Examigan]

Because I purchased it.

Other plugins have been for sale before and then set free.
Surge is just one example.

Okay I'll start:

RCM: still goes offline a lot between reboots, sometimes even in the middle of a Windows session. My PC is permanently connected to the internet and yet I often need to login again in order to use my permanent licenses.

XV/JD: the bank names are not properly trimmed, making the patch display a mess when I load a bank with a long name.

XV-5080: the CPU spikes on recent Mac processors.

JD-800: the TVA T1 is inconsistent on maximum attack times, at T1=100 on certain patches it often plays notes with the attack time at 0.

Zenology: there's no way to clean up the unused/unlicensed banks. In this thread we had to figure out where the banks are stored and delete them manually in order for the load times to get acceptable again. (Okay this is more like a feature request, but seriously the license validation times in Zenology have been atrocious since the flood of small near-weekly expansions in 2020-2022)

J8/J60: the already mentioned broken arpeggiator speed parameter that's been removed (i.e. not fixed) in V2.

Anything else?

Then we have this issue that i brought up in 2021:

"D-Fusion wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 2:30 pm
I have been waiting for Months on a Fix for a serious bug in the SRX Dance Trax where it doesn't save the preset properly.
When using PCM from SRX B Waves and save it as a Preset it points to SRX A Wavebank on Reload and the workaround they gave me is to Select SRX A and then SRX B to get to the correct PCM Sample in your preset.

Hope this will be fixed soon."

Hey Marco and D-Fusion, really appreciate the feedback with this! After looking into these tickets and seeing where they are at, I'm happy to say that we are honing in on solutions to almost all of them and hopefully, we will see releases soon. ZENOLOGY load time is always something we try and keep under control and I'll relay this info as well. As far as the XV-5080 Sky House patch name ticket, that particular issue has been resolved. Let me know if you are still seeing scrambled patch names, and I can relay it to the team. Thanks!

Amazing how RCM is never addressed and just skipped right over

> As far as the XV-5080 Sky House patch name ticket, that particular issue has been resolved.

Actually no, it hasn't.

What's been done is that, at some point, someone on RCM's end has renamed the bank from XV-5080_Sky-House_1.0.0 to just Sky H, so right now:

- Most people have ended up with two copies of the same bank, one with the original long name that still messes up the display, the other one with the much shorter name. The old bank needs to be deleted manually and I'm sure not everyone is comfortable doing so.

- This still doesn't help if I want to load, say, one of the JV-90/JV-1000 factory banks that someone graciously provided in the past. Even something as short as "JV-1000 A-B" is still too long to be displayed and overlaps the patch name.

By "trimmed" I meant trimmed in the software, not just the file name.

Regards,

I can’t believe that still isn’t fixed…

[SLiC]

They don't fix things, they just drop them...

[Examigan]

It just seems like a simple coding thing, not like fixing how a filter is working or the release of an envelope, etc.

Hey SLiC & Examigan, it is fixed on my end! I’m only seeing the updated bank names.

If anyone on here has two banks, or is still seeing the old bank with the overlapping text, please let me know so I can reach out to you!

Marco, I'll send you a DM and get some more information from you if that's okay.
